Different Tongues - Power of Suggestion

[Thomas]

You said a mouthful (pun intended) Bucko. In part of what you said lies some of the problem -- those ratings. I have a vision that with each high rating (not to mention price) the wine industry loses one more potential consumer. Why don't we have steak rating numbers or hamburger rating numbers? Because it is ridiculous, and it is not how everyday consumption is established.

Having said that, I do believe we need some sort of rating to set standards -- if only producers would halt from using them to sell wine FAT CHANCE!
